My Summer 2014 Playlist

Ever had that feeling where you're listening to a song and hitting next feels so sinful? I had those moments everytime I listen to these songs. Sharing to you is my summer 2014 playlist! Yeheees! Decided to post this now kahit summer's about to end na. It may be June already but I still feel like sharing these songs.

Music has always been there for me just like summer always has. My 2014 summer experience has been a one-of-kind adventure. Definitely one my best summer's so far. And I thank all the people I've been with this summer who made it so awesome and worth-remembering. This wouldn't be possible without you guys, so thank you! :)

So here I am, sharing to you my summer buddy for the past 2 months, my friendly iPod and these songs. Whenever I feel sad or alone, I just grab my iPod, speakers (or earphones) and hit play. And boom! I feel better already!

I'm a HUGE Chicosci fan! Just in case you don't know yet. Here's their newest single! Can't wait for the music video!

Best of Oh-Twelve

I must say, 2012 has been one of the best years for me! A lot of things happened and here are the top 12 events that made it worth it.

PS. Some of the titles are linked to the blogs I posted about it before. :)

1) Be a Teacher
It was such an overwhelming experience to be able to fulfill a noble profession even for a while. In other words, nakakataba ng puso. Sobra. :)

2) Graduate college with a bachelor degree
All 4 years in college paid of! This is for you Mom and Dad! :)

3) Family trip to Vigan and Caramoan
Because we were not able to do this last year. This the year for it!

4) Opening Green Berries
I had online shops before way back in my first year in college but none of them lasts like this one. I'm so happy I opened Green Berries. It continues to help me seek other opportunities and options where to get money from when I need it the most. And I really love and enjoy what I'm doing!

5) Winning MYX's One Direction CD giveaway
I also learned about One Direction this year, around early of January 2012. And I've been a huge fan since then! That every One Direction giveaway I see, I make sure I will have an entry. Thankfully, I won this one from MYX! Thank you so much for the CD and the mini standee! Love it so much!

6) Entering the College of Science
I'm so used to people asking me what year I am in already and I tell them the story behind it over and over again, that I'm attending school just so I could go into med school and that I already graduated. But nonetheless, a first semester in the College of Science was fun and very challenging for a Math-lover like me.

7) Attend concerts
In this year alone, I was able to attend 5 concerts! That's a new record for me! Usually I only get to attend 2 though, but not this year. It all started with Simple Plan last January, the story behind Jet Lag. Then lots of bands with the Smash Project last March, all thanks to Thea! One of the biggest parties of the year with LMFAO at their Party Rock tour in Manila with my siblings. Barbie-ed with Nicki Minaj last July with my sister Jaja. Right after Nicki was David Cook with my Ninang Pyay for the second time. 2012 was really a concert filled year for me. :)

Simple Plan

The Used - Smash Project

Dashboard Confessional - Smash Project

Cobra Starship - Smash Project

The Cab - Smash Project

LMFAO

Nicki Minaj

David Cook

8) Have my first talk about photography
Who would have thought! Who would have thought that my passion in photography will take me this far? I know! Hahaha. :))

9) Passing the LET
Right after graduation, everyone's been so excited and thrilled about the upcoming board exam for teachers which is called LET. My first plan was to review for LET and start studying science on the 2nd sem, but instead I just went to school and didn't devote any time to review for LET. But thank God, with all my heart, I was able to pass it without the effort of reviewing. What an early Christmas gift!

10) UST grabbing the PCCL Championship
I was in 3rd year high school when UST grabbed its last UAAP champion against Ateneo. In this year's UAAP basketball, we were almost there and were just a bit short. But the team was able to bounce back at the PCCL tournament and won the championship. I'm so happy I was able to witness this win!

Thank you Coach Dopids!

11) Meet new friends
And they're all younger than me! Yung age ko paurong eh! Hahaha. Love you girls! :)

12) Read a lot of books
Another record broken for 2012, the year where I read the most number of books in a year. Woohoo! Yay for 2012! This the year where my being a bookworm grew. The year where I bought a lot of books and the year where I read a lot of books.

And a lot lot more 2012 events that are worth sharing! But these will do. :)

Best year so far, right? And I'm on my way to make 2013 even better!



What's the best thing that happened to you in 2012?

Christmas wish list #4 - #8

First of all I want to apologize in advance because I admit that I won't be able to commit to my promise. :((

But I will still be posting my 12 Christmas wish list, unfortunately it won't be in individual posts anymore. On the contrary, I was able to post 3 in 3 separate blogs, #1, #2 and #3.

Let me begin-slash-continue from 4 to 8...

4) Mikasa volleyball

I can't find my mikasa volleyball, that's why I can't play volleyball. I badly need one so I can flex my muscles again!

5) Green aztec bag

Wala lang. Sabay sa uso lang. =p

6) iPad black and white sticker

Not really this design though. I can't find the perfect design that I want but I'd choose a deck of cards iPad sticker in black and white. That would be so cool!

7) Boyfriend

Para hindi na malamig ang pasko ano ba! Hahaha. I kid! I kid! Was just kidding. I just want these men. *drools*

8) iPhone 5

Who doesn't anyway? Pero hanggang wish list ka na muna.


I'll cope up with the remaining 4! These will do for now. :)


Which of these do you want for Christmas too?

Sneak peak on my new playlist

I tweeted a couple of nights ago that I was running through Youtube for new good songs. So I was basically having one of my so-called "Youtube nights." I purposely just made that up.

And here are some of the new songs I just found. Thought of sharing it to you guys just in case you're looking for new songs to listen to. This blog post might just help you.

1. Don't Wake Me Up - Chris Brown
2. Wings - Little Mix
3. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift
4. I Can Only Imagine - David Guetta ft. Chris Brown & Lil Wayne
5. Good Time - Owl City ft. Carly Rae Jespen
6. Goin' In - Jennifer Lopez ft. Florida
7. Scream - Usher
8. Turn Up the Love - Far East Movement ft. Cover Drive (and their Dirty Bass album)
9. Wonderwall - One Direction (Cover)
10. I'm Yours - One Direction (Cover)
11. Your Song - Parokya Ni Edgar Inuman Sessions Vol.2

Most of these are feel good songs because I was in such good mood during that night. Haha. Just spreading the good vibes here. (y)

I'm still in search for new songs though. It's been months since I last updated my iTunes music library and I know it's hungry for more music.

More albums are about to release very soon! Namely One Direction, Taylor Swift, Paramore and Chicosci. My iTunes music library will be fully satisfied with their songs. Can't wait!

That's it for now! Just a quick blog post for tonight. Just wanna share what I have on my new playlist.

Enjoy your new music! :)


Good vibes for you,
Tinay xx

You're my Wonderwall dear One Direction

Have you listened to One Direction's cover of Oasis' Wonderwall already? If yes, you are blessed, but if you haven't yet then I feel sorry for you cause you're missing out one of the finest music in the music industry.

It was shot during the set of the What Makes You Beautiful music video in Malibu California. The WMYB music video was filmed last July 2011, so that's a year ago! And obviously the One Direction version of Wonderwall is in their storage for more than a year already!

Why release it only now? It is music at its finest! Just 5 boys and a guitar all I can hear is perfection! Pure music right there. Their voices plus the guitar, so lovely.

Plus! Just look how hot they look! They just sit there and sing but still looking good. Effortless!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my boys from One Direction singing Wonderwall by Oasis!

I love how it shows Niall's guitar skills. I love the part where Harry drummed the drums part after the chorus. I love how Zayn proves to everyone that he is the master of echo. I love how serious Liam looks when he sings. And of course, I love how comfortable Louis sits in his blanket plus he's barefoot.

I love these boys so much! Look how comfortable they are with each other. Just 5 boys doing what they love to do. <3 Not just 5 boys though, but 5 good-looking boys. :)

This song is special to me though. I might consider doing a cover of it myself. Haha. But please don't expect too much because I don't sing well. I can play the guitar, fair enough, but trust me I don't sing. Hahaha. :))


What's not to love about One Direction?

My One Direction merch

I know I'm not like other fans here who have been with them since their X-Factor days and only became a One Direction fan since January 2012, but seriously, I am a very very very huge fan of these boys. I don't have to be with them from the start but I know that I can be with them until the end.

Drama much. Haha. You might not understand me like any other fan girls out there but these boys have a huge effect in my life. It may not be visible with the naked eye but they really do. And I am thankful for it. There's no room for me to deny how much I love these boys.

So anyways, I would just like to share my own One Direction merch. These are just some of the thousands of One Direction merch around the world. Besides these, what I really want to have are the One Direction dolls.

I got this One Direction Up All Night Yearbook edition CD from my cousins Kuya Bryan and Yoyo from the US. I blogged about it here.

I pre-ordered my copy of One Direction UAN DVD online from Astrovision. 

And then I got these freebies from Astrovision! They didn't inform me that I am getting freebies, so I was surprised. Thank you Astrovision! :)

A One Direction dog tag.

Plus a huge One Direction Fan Party and DVD Launch poster. Yay! 

Remember how I got these? You can find it here. I got this One Direction mini-standee and cd for free! Because I won a MYX online contest. Horaaah!

So far these are my One Direction merch.

Basically, I got everything for free besides the DVD. I hope I can get more free merch. Hahaha. :)) x

When I get to find more One Direction merch and have too much for myself, I might do a giveaway or a contest. You'd love that right? Wish me luck in finding more 1D merch! You might just have one for yourself for free!

Now that One Direction dolls. Can't wait to get my hands on you! Plus the 1D concert in the Philippines, can't wait! No announcement yet so far but I'm pretty sure that they'll do a concert here. The boys have been noticing a lot of Filipino fans on twitter lately. And that's a sign!

Now playing: I Wish - One Direction <333

I won from MYX!

One day, I read a tweet about MYX's contest for the Juan Directioners. As for me, I always join online contests, but I never win, not a single chance. So I told myself, why not? It's free to qualify and who knows? Among the thousands of screaming fans, I might win. But the chances are so low.

The question was pretty easy. They asked us to name the members of the band One Direction. I know right? Everyone is expected to know that.

I was the 5th to submit and enter the contest by the way. Haha. I think it was one April day when I joined.

One day, again, haha, May 30, I was at Metrobank with Mom to pay for Dad's credit card, my phone keep on vibrating. I don't want to look at it though cause we're inside a bank and I am not supposed to use it. But my Mom insists that I look at it that it might be something important. When I checked it, I got a message from MYX saying that I won a One Direction cd and a mini-standee. I almost screamed inside the bank but I got to hold myself. Hahaha. It would be so embarrassing.

Apparently, I have to claim my price by myself at their office. The allotted date and time of claiming is from June 5 to June 9 from 1 - 6pm. Their office is at ELJ communications building, Mother Ignacia St. Quezon City, 8th floor. I've never been there. This is another adventure, I told myself.

So today, after getting my papers done at UST, Mom and I went to ELJ to claim my prize. We had a few complications going to 8th floor because of the mataray ate at the front desk of ABS-CBN. I want to pull her fake eyelashes out! I was so pissed. Damn that girl.

But anyways, I got my prize. And that's what matters. :) x

Tadaaaa! I'm so happy! I am one happy One Direction fan. Yaaaay! This will be added to my One Direction merch-slash-collection. :) x

Thank you so much MYX! :)

And since we're already at the ABS-CBN building, we searched for the PBB house, ang bahay ni Kuya. Found it! I'm not a fan though but andito nako eh, why not? Picture lang naman eh.

One Direction Up All Night Limited Yearbook Edition

I finally have my own copy. Wahooo! Ever since this baby went on sale in the US, I've been dying to get myself a copy, but, unfortunately we do not have it here in the Philippines, yet. While in the US, this cd is out everywhere especially in Walmart. So I pmed my Mommy Malyn who's in New Jersey, US if she could buy a copy. Well, she said yes. And poof, I am one happy fan. Fangirling all over!

It was last March when I contacted them. They arrived Manila last week, May 16, I guess, and now I have my own copy. Yay yay yay!

This limited edition went available in the Philippines last April something. They had a little launch in SM North Edsa The Block. I don't know if it's still available or out of stock already. Nevertheless, I'm so happy I already have mine.

Mini-photoshoot, expecting it? Hahaha. As always, you know me. :)

 The cd cover art.

It is a book itself, that's why it's a limited yearbook edition. There are photos, tweets, lyrics and stuff about the boys.

Zayn's stickers! <3

 

The cd itself.

Sample lyrics, WMYB.

 

 

 Love these boys forever. <3
